I've rather neglected this project for about the past year, for which I apologise (long story short: A levels). I'll be uploading a new version Real Soon Now (tm), rebuilt against Qt 2, and possibly with other improvements. As always, any suggestions or comments are welcome.
I've now uploaded version 1.0.0. Changes include: added an options dialog with check frequency, notification options (including launching a program), save window geometry and more, no longer requires KDE, fixed bug which caused users with garbage names to appear.

Due to circumstances beyond my control... well, actually due to the fact that "we don't have the bandwidth for FTP at the moment" (Winchester College compdept), I will not be able to upload any new versions for a while. Development is continuing, so when I'm next at home, I'll upload the new version. All flames to Karl Bradley <ksb@compdept.wincoll.ac.uk>. =/
The initial release is now available from the download page. I've only tested it on a couple of fairly standard x86 boxes, so it's probably full of bugs... but I'd love to hear about them! =) --Chris Boyle <chrisb@wincoll.ac.uk>
